The 1DMIIN is WAYYY better than the 20D. Your uncle's got a fine camera there... Since you only have two choices to make, I can only recommend the 1D. Beware though, once you go pro body, don't think you'll want to hold the consumer/ toy DSLR anymore... thumbup.gif The shutter sound during max FPS is enough to make me drool... drool.gif

Congratulations on the new thread. I thought most Canon DSLR have a shutter count limit of around 300k? AFAIK, Olympus has a shutter count of around 150k.

you can push it... like my Uncle says... hehehe... that's why now he got himself a D3x and Paideemaktu... coz the 1D's shutter won't open anymore... so, if I get that, then need to service again... and would need new lenses also... too much to spend... just need a backup for my 350D tongue.gif

i wonder, people say digital still cant surpass film camera?
like i saw one comment say that digital camera aint fast enough in term of fps. something like that

i know the fun of dark room, processing film are irreplaceable. it's like fapping and having sex, it wont be the same.

i wanna know in term of spec wise, IE ISO control, noise, shutter speed, lens availability.

coz u know, today's generation where got film. even my dad's friend shop already close down. he was doing film processing. even taking passport photo using film. now no more.

hopefully anybody with experience can share please tongue.gif

thank you


anyway,

the SP90 itself costs RM 1k+!... If I were you, I'll just meet up with him and return it, if he were to offer items as compensation then take it as it's already a bonus. nod.gif

Kasihan lah the seller. Ppl also trying to earn a decent living. How the 2.8 ended up in a 4.0 box, that one, only the seller knows. Whether the seller/shop was trying any hanky panky, we should give them the benefit of doubt. I just hope that the person who sold u that lens is the boss n not the employee... else, he might have to make good the amount ( = potong gaji!!!!). Kasihaaaaaan....... "Demanding" for more items in exchange is like holding it at a ransom... not very good lah. Either u give it back, or u keep it. Don't 'bargain' like that. Just not right.

Before you return the lens, you should also post the serial number of the lens as well as the shop you return it to. This is to protect potential buyer of that lens in case it is sold as NEW by the shop. Lens should be sold as USED after it is returned.

Yeah, but after reading what HiroBoroi said, I kinda hope that he doesn't return the thing. Because, some unlucky guy will eventually pay the FULL amount for a USED unit. I certainly hope I won't be the one.... because I do have interest in getting one. I'm sure the shop will sell it as NEW.

a lens being used a few times is considered used?!
so what shall the shop do when you request to test it?
tell you pay up then only test?
else he needs to sell it as used?

Once it leaves the shop, its considered sold oledi. If lens is returned, it should be at marked down USED price. How much is the mark down depends on the condition of the lens. But the buyer must be told about the history of the item. If you want to buy it at brand NEW price then go ahead whistling.gif . I wont.

What about DSLR then? You go buy a DSLR, come home and find out the shutter count is 67. You're ok with that? I know I'll be extremely pissed. mad.gif

I had not have any problem testing the lenses. Go to any Canon Branded shop e.g. KLCC, Midvalley. You can request to test any lens you can find in the shop and the sales person MUST let you test it. Call Canon if they refuse. They never.

I'll be one of those ppl who prefers 'virgin' products since I'm buying it as new. But I have accepted the fact that sometimes in life, you can't have everything the way you like it to be. I'll reveal a little trade secret which was practiced by a camera shop I used to work in when I finished SPM. We would have a lot of cameras (be it point n shoot, and SLRs). The person-in-charge will specify how long those products should be displayed. After a few weeks/months, he will order us to wipe the display items clean and repack them into boxes and replace the display items with new ones. Of course, the display items will always look brand new and the previous display item sold. Scary leh....

If you have Rm3.2k around budget straight get 40D with EFS 18-55 kit !
or you can get 1000D body only and plus Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 as ur kit smile.gif

I would keep the lens. Why?
The seller was up to something
So you got the winning end and the seller is just sitting in his shop calling you laugh.gif
He ask you to return, and you can return
Provided you ask for something back
You must teach him a lesson for his own mistake
Ask him give you big discount or freebies if you come back next time
He will probably trust you and let you play with big toys if you have any
So all I can say, you lose in both situation!
Do you always visit his shop or once in a blue moon, has he ever treat you badly?
When you first got your new toy from him?
It's your call rclxms.gif

I cant believe you've returned the lens.
It sounds like the shop is not genuine and honest afterall.

It's really difficult to find a good quality shop nowadays, most of the shops f*** care about our consumer right especially in Msia. shakehead.gif
If I were in the same situation in US or Europe, i would seriously consider to return back since their customer service is way better than here.

i think u should swallow this matter alone..
coz the more u talk about it, the more blame from other people u gonna get.

depends on ur future lens weight,
I say benro A-350EX is a good tripod , Rm330 including ball-head
of course you dont expect an Rm300 thingy do Rm400 (legs only) tripod like Manfrotto 190X PROB sweat.gif

Must be above 18 to enter the GT Queen "Area"? blink.gif
I thought buy ticket at RM100 and then can enter and take pictures?
Anyway, I didn't buy a ticket, just asking. Maybe next year only, then I buy ticket.
But if I go there, I doubt GT Queen will pose for me. I'm damn small sized ler. (Some people look down on small kids) doh.gif

i find it a bit "distracting" because the horizon is too slanted? If I were you I would have rotate the horizon to 45 degrees if i want a tilted shot....that's just my preference smile.gif

1st one, hurts my neck.

2nd one marvelous. jealous, i'm.
anyway, for landscape. better try normal shot at 1st.
later gain more experience, can create good creative angle.

guys, i heard that canon remote shutter limit to 99 shots only. is that correct?
coz planning to do time lapse. and also looking remote shutter for landscape.

any recommendation ?? thank you

I heard some Canon lens even thoug max is 55mm is equivalent to a 88mm zoom, can someone explain why?

Seems the new EP-1 lens also has more zoom than what it states.

Nice article.

So basicly they "crop" what the lens was capable which "magnifies" the image?

Is there any downside on the quality of the "zoom" effect compare to 1x full frame?

I got no choice man.
I want the trees, lake reflection and woods in the shot.
The trees look very boring if i shoot horizontally, while the woods is out of frame if i shoot vertically. sweat.gif

No quality was interrupted during cropping,
just the DOF not perfect, because its cropped.

hey guys, those that have a BP-511A battery, how long does it usually last?
i got a feeling mine is fake. the words printed on the top looks crummy and it takes only 400 shots on a full charge.
doesnt seem right to me.

initially, i had the original battery that came in the box replaced with another new one from another set because mine was faulty. now im wondering why it doesnt take as many shots as it is supposed to

hey guys, those that have a BP-511A battery, how long does it usually last?
i got a feeling mine is fake. the words printed on the top looks crummy and it takes only 400 shots on a full charge.
doesnt seem right to me.

initially, i had the original battery that came in the box replaced with another new one from another set because mine was faulty. now im wondering why it doesnt take as many shots as it is supposed to
*
I have 2 BP-511A, one from my original 40D set and I bought another when I am in Philippines. I never really gauge how much shots it can last, but so far I have taken 1000+ shots and my battery shows 1/2 bar left on 2 batteries in my BG-E2N.

Rough estimate 500-700 shots from 1 BP-511A. I use only my speedlite and I do not use live view.

yeap its about there with that MH reading... mine also around that shot if i use pop up flash once a while.. that is the reason why i buy additional battery 1600mh which can last me slightly more.. around additional 100-150 more... i carry 2 spare battery with me every outing.. also if u often check back ur image will also consume power... if you set the lcd info display on all the time.. also will consume more power... so it really depends.. and that figure is within the acceptable range.. mayb other sifu's or pros out there can give a better evaluation...

me just newbie who play around with my camera just a couple of months but the shot i get is around there also consistently using ori battery 1390

Mine can do 600 shots easily, with pop-up flash occasionally.
In between delete some failed photos, etc.

I have nasty experience with 3rd party batts. That's why I revert to getting original BP-511A in Philippines.

I bought a number of compatible BP-511As in Singapore... from Camera Device, Phottix etc... tested 4 different brands. They show low batt in my 40D; and when I charge them in the original charger, it blinks very quick then goes steady showing that it is fully charge. I can't believe it gets fully charged in less than 1 minute, so I pop it back into my 40D and tried it. No use, it still shows low batt. Tried few times and finally I gave up and got the original instead.

Sorry, there's no more EXIF DATA because: DSLR -> iPhoto -> Picmark to watermark (Overwrite original file) -> Facebook -> Extract URL from Facebook via Photobucket.
Nope, I don't use a tripod. The pictures were shot in my grandparents house this afternoon (1 pm +/-), all pictures are handheld.

Do not present the photo of facebook here.

The quality of photos shown on facebook is lousy compared to the original photos u took. I bet facebook decreases the photo quality, so that the filesize a lot smaller.
Try to show us of those photos after your watermark process..


Btw, afternoon (sunlight so strong) isn't the most ideal time for photography.
Try it in the morning or during dawn time. smile.gif

Get it if its very cheap, else top up for 500D or just get 1000D.

Dun feel 450D (brand new) worth a buy nowadays, a model will be phased out soon.

How does EF-S 55-250mm IS performs? Another other lens around RM1k mark that can produce sharp pictures within the mentioned focal length? I need one with stabilizer.

If you need telephoto with IS @ 1K mark, EF-S 55-250mm IS seems to be the only choice. If you want an all rounder, Sigma 18-200mm OS can be considered. They are all decent.

Looks soft on tele end. Most suggested 18-55 IS combo with 55-250mm for the IQ rather than a 18-200mm. Also it cost much more cheaper, only having the trouble changing lens.

Do not present the photo of facebook here.
The quality of photos shown on facebook is lousy compared to the original photos u took. I bet facebook decreases the photo quality, so that the filesize a lot smaller.
Try to show us of those photos after your watermark process..
Btw, afternoon (sunlight so strong) isn't the most ideal time for photography.
Try it in the morning or during dawn time. smile.gif

I'll try and post the pictures before the Facebook-ing process but after the watermark-ing process, tomorrow.
I could only take the pictures in the afternoon cause I was in Seremban (grandparents house) in afternoon, not morning or evening.
Thanks again for your comments.

Not sure if 18-55 IS have better IQ compared to 18-55 non IS but IS doesn't mean IQ, u know the purpose of IS?
Basically i feel snapping photos at low light a lot easier with IS.

The 18-55 IS seems to have slightly better IQ (especially edge sharpness) but it is not worth to upgrade from non-IS to IS. 18-55mm range does not benefit much from IS and I would suggest you look into 17-55 IS or Tamron 17-50. smile.gif

How does EF-S 55-250mm IS performs? Another other lens around RM1k mark that can produce sharp pictures within the mentioned focal length? I need one with stabilizer.

diff lens for diff purposes
One thing many ppl failed to understand is tat, there's a compromise for convenience (changing lens) for IQ. No doubt the 55-250 IS + 18-55IS combo would produce better IQ yada yada , but put it this way, when ur on the move, or situations (dust/crowd/on the move) where it isn't suitable to swap lens, this is where the 18-200 shines. there's a price to pay for convenience

Looks soft on tele end. Most suggested 18-55 IS combo with 55-250mm for the IQ rather than a 18-200mm. Also it cost much more cheaper, only having the trouble changing lens.

Softness is being very subjective. If you're comparing to a 70-200mm f/4L IS with every other telephoto lens, you will find them all soft. But it's fine if to get what you like. biggrin.gif

p.s. Sigma 18-200 OS isn't very soft compared to 55-250 IS. tongue.gif

Yea, either way, depends on which you wish for, IQ or convinience or maybe both.

Depends on user preferences. It's ok as long as it meets my expectations. Can't expect so much from a RM1k lens compared to a few Ks. biggrin.gif

Or get 2 bodies if you don't like to change lenses. tongue.gif

I usually have my 55-250 on my 450D and the 18-55 on my 400D. Or 50mm on the 450D and 18-55 on the 400D for low light events.

Next logical progression for me would be a 5D w/ a 100-400L and the 450D with a 10-22/24-70L

If i'm really on the move or while traveling/vacationing, I'll use a compact/superzoom. I'm not even going to bother with a DSLR...there is just so many things wrong with slinging a DSLR with a big lens walking around places you are not familiar with. If you take something like a high end compact like the DP2 or LX3, the image quality is darn good enough for most situations.

i find it a bit distracting as both eyes are the same and you cant just draw attention to 1 eye..unless the whole picture is the eyes...my 2 cents la

carrying 1 lens and go 18 to 200 without having to change lens, why not?

IQ wise, Sigma or Canon 18-200 while so many people claim IQ issue, they're just crapping la. even the most ever lousy IQ lens is still capable of producing decent shots and the average person would still be in awe of a well taken photo.

alot of sites says center sharpness is awesome but edge corner sucks
some say it's good enough.
the only thing is 5 aperture blade.
think i can live with that and the AF motor since it's the same with 50F1.8
some "rumours" going round what they might update it with USM motor and f1.8.
but i think the price is ok for f2, micro motor and 5 aperture blades

i would say no also
focus more accurate depends on body as well as brighter lens
it's still the same 3.5-5.6 aperture, so it's not brighter lens

IS just allow you to hand hold at lower shutter speed without blurring STATIC object. basically IS lens, you can take pic of STATIC object at about 1/10 or so shutter speed and still get clear picture.
some say the 18-55 IS is slightly sharper than the non-IS too.

I am also considering a lens around that range. 50mm F1.8 is too narrow.
Still deciding between
1) Canon 28mm F1.8
2) Canon 35mm F2
3) Sigma 30mm F1.4

till now I'm still thinking... ha ha ha

carrying 1 lens and go 18 to 200 without having to change lens, why not?

IQ wise, Sigma or Canon 18-200 while so many people claim IQ issue, they're just crapping la. even the most ever lousy IQ lens is still capable of producing decent shots and the average person would still be in awe of a well taken photo.
*
ah ha.finally someone has spoken some sense. Yeah it's like 1/10 out there didn't get the gripe of 18-200, yet comparing it with 18-55, 55-250. So know your priorities and go with ur selection

QUOTE(168257061 @ Jun 22 2009, 06:19 PM)
i manual select focus point ler,
I even turn on the beep sound, after the beep sound i click the shutter... fail sometimes sad.gif
not closeup, but 1m distance also appear this problem  sad.gif
*
when u tried to AF, was it in a relatively dark environment + uniform color object? (say like a white wall)

coz AF is based by contrast.

Something wrong with ya lens? I used to have a 18-55 which behaves the same too. Slowly it just dies off. Can't even AF when you press half shutter
*
But i try another old lens it's having the same problem...
maybe the body shutter button problem or shutter problem.. hmm.gif

Hey guys. Do you all usually use center AF point only or use all 9 points? smile.gif

Asking this because I find that I'm getting less OOF shots when using the center AF point only and using the focus-recompose method.

Use the AF point nearest to your subject. Else, upgrade to 1-series. No need to focus-recompose. tongue.gif

Yeah thats what I did recently, using the peripheral AF points. Resulted in OOF shots with the 70-200. Whereas another similar shot using the focus-recompose method was sharp.

wowee...is that from canon's website or you can get it cheaper else where...
lol...so worried that something is faulty...i'm never gonna remove my battery grip ever again...lol...but the contact points (on the camera's end) is like dented inside...issit normal?

You can remove the grip anytime you want but the battery grip needs to be tight and contacts must not be contaminated with dirt or smudge. The dents are very normal.

guys i got one question,
sometimes when my subject is focused and locked on ready to click shutter,
but the camera just wont take photo, after pressing 2 -3 times also...
why ah ?
My shutter starting problem ? sad.gif
*
My 40D had lockups several times. Beep but no reaction when shutter is pressed. Usually occur due to bad contact to lens. Remount lens and fully restart the camera by removing the battery.

Something is not really right if your other points are not producing sharp AF. I find all points on my 40D to be as precise as each other.

Thanks for correcting me. icon_rolleyes.gif
But if I remember correctly I registered for the 3-years warranty about half a month after I purchased my 500D Kit. sweat.gif
That's about 15 days. I doubt I registered within that "14-days" time period.

You can remove the grip anytime you want but the battery grip needs to be tight and contacts must not be contaminated with dirt or smudge. The dents are very normal.
My 40D had lockups several times. Beep but no reaction when shutter is pressed. Usually occur due to bad contact to lens. Remount lens and fully restart the camera by removing the battery.
Something is not really right if your other points are not producing sharp AF. I find all points on my 40D to be as precise as each other.

Maybe it's because I've sent to Canon for calibration. Heard somewhere that they only calibrate the center AF point. Not sure about that la laugh.gif

In TV shows, they have some devices where they can hook up a small video camera to the person's spectacles and make it look like an FPS (first person shooter, eg: Doom, Halo). Are those widely available in the market?

Besides that, are there any other method where I can create a first-person view without holding the video camera or strapping it around my head (coz' that will look geeky)?

I have only adjusted the brightness and bringing out the backlight. It became more obvious when i adjust the backlight during PP..backlight +25% using photoscape.

pretty hard to shoot under such super bright sunlight sad.gif

that those 2 photos are good but manageable by many camera.
even 1000D + 18-55 can do that.

Its nothing that "fancy" to be shouted about anyway.

I got my camera at Bintang Plaza somehow. As long as it is market price, with canon (malaysia) warranty, will do.
Even our garage sales seller will be a good choice.

No. You are confined to camera's resolution. You need Canon 1Ds Mark III for banner and billboard use.

No. You are confined to camera's resolution. You need Canon 1Ds Mark III for banner and billboard use.

1. Make sure it's from Canon Malaysia.
2. Usually they'll throw in a cheaper (in terms of cost and maybe quality) tripod or bag.
3. Don't forget that the SDHC should be Class 6.
My friend bought his 1000D and they gave him a 16GB SDHC, however, it was Class 4. sweat.gif

It's better to buy a camera from the official distributor.
The official distributor for Canon in Malaysia is "Canon Malaysia".
Yes, it can be Canon from other country, however, the warranty wouldn't apply in Malaysia.
If your camera got problem, must go back to Canon (in the other country) and get a fix/replacement.
Don't forget, if you buy a camera from June until September, you'll attain 1 + 2 years warranty.
Remember, this ONLY applies for cameras bought from Canon Malaysia.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, I myself am not 100% about this issue. icon_rolleyes.gif
I'm sorry but I don't know how to verify whether it's from Canon Malaysia.

Class 4 has a slower read and write speed when compared to Class 6.
Usually, read and write speed of Class 4 is sufficient. However, there may be a delay when taking burst shots.

Transfer speed. Class 6 is 6MB/s while Class 4 is 4MB/s. But then for Class 6, there is alot more faster speed other than 6MB/s.

IMHO, Digital Mall in PJ don't have very good deals/package.
If you want a good deal. May I recommend YL Camera in Pudu Plaza.
If your going to Bangsar to hunt for cameras, maybe you could PM me and I could accompany you there (Bangsar) but only after 7 pm.
Bye, and enjoy testing the wide variety of cameras. icon_rolleyes.gif

change format to RAW .. test it by using continuous shoot .. u will see the different between faster and slower card .. wink.gif .. i tried mine .. 40D in high continuous mode, JPEG format, was using Sony 133x card, it can snap for about 10 and the power of machine gun speed was slowly decreasing .. wink.gif ..

RAW then it's different
the camera buffer will run out and affect the continuous shot more than the write speed to the card.
The camera has very slow write speed anyway (compared to card readers).
please bear in mind we are talking about 1000D here.

I'm not referring to 1000D specifically.
If not mistaken, I read somewhere that my 500D if I'm going to record 1080p @ 20 fps I need Class 6 SDHC.
Therefore, when I purchased my 500D, I opted for 8GB SDHC (Transcend)

I'm not sure about your camera.
My camera has this function that can enable it to remove the dust from the sensor.
Look under "Menu". Not sure whether it's that capable of removing the dust from the image sensor though.


Added on June 24, 2009, 11:38 pmThis is the method that I'm talking about.

lol,
1000D cant do 3 fps continuous on RAW,
L size only 9 continuous shots, then slowed down,
M and S 3fps burst untill card full.
based on class 2 and above.
even 30mbps SDHC on 1000D also useless, the engine... sucks. laugh.gif

What pen, do you mean the rubber blower in the shape of a pen?
I paid RM15 for the "Giant-sized" one. It's actually standard size, same size as most other people use.
IMHO, the rubber blower is a necessity. sweat.gif

I heard that Canon EOS 1000D is only RM2000 at Digital Mall PJ. Including UV filter, bag,screen protector, tripod.

Is it possible to be that price? I mean only the camera itself (with kit lens) from Canon costs at least rm2199.

To fellow LYNer, with my current gear 1000D+kitlens where ISO 1600 is the max i can go(but for me ISO 400 or some time ISO 800 only usable), the question is how can i can shoot under low light in a night club?
I have a Nissin Di622 flashgun but i dun think i goin to usee it coz it will be very irritating to the subject and the person around... Do they anywhere to get some photos? I tried the lowest shutter speed i can go with maximum ISO 1600...BUT still no luck :cry:all turn up to be black cry.gif ... Any ideas? I hope to get a solution be4 Friday night...
notworthy.gif So, any advice will be much appreciated...

To fellow LYNer, with my current gear 1000D+kitlens where ISO 1600 is the max i can go(but for me ISO 400 or some time ISO 800 only usable), the question is how can i can shoot under low light in a night club?
I have a Nissin Di622 flashgun but i dun think i goin to usee it coz it will be very irritating to the subject and the person around... Do they anywhere to get some photos? I tried the lowest shutter speed  i can go with maximum ISO 1600...BUT still no luck :cry:all turn up to be black cry.gif  ... Any ideas? I hope to get a solution be4 Friday night...

How about using bounce flash or diffusing the flash? At least can reduce the amount of light.

3 things who cover light source in your camera .. smile.gif .. ISO, shutter and aperture .. smile.gif ..

in very low light condition, u have to use high ISO, but will increase the noise, slower shutter speed but it will make the moving subject blur, and high aperture (small f number) but it will create more bokeh .. just play around with these 3 .. smile.gif .. if u still cannot get the desired result, that is the limitation of your gear ... so, u have to upgrade your gear to 50D or maybe 5dmk2 to get very high ISO .. hahaha .. tongue.gif .. as alternative, u can use photoshop or other picture editor software to make it bright .. wink.gif ..

using flash in a gig, or concert is not my option at all .. it will reduce the feel of the picture ... i bet, u cant see the colorful light effect on stage .. smile.gif ..

Damn you are mean but I couldn't agree more. Big aperture lens + good body helps a heap esp when you are shooting in clubs. When I was shooting at Miss Boiler's Room Search 2009 the other day, most of my shots were using ISO 4000+- and some even went up to 12800 even when I combo-ed with bloody huge ass aperture lens like f1.2 or f1.4.

the lens would do fairly good, the problem is the body part...ISO plays a big role in low light condition, for me i would avoid going 800 iso for my body...sometimes i wish i had a FF body =_=

not necessary that you need a FF for high ISO (though it will be good if you can have one...)
40d high ISO is pretty good too...

Thanks for your reply.
I'm using a 500D, I don't mind having noisy images even at 12,800 cause I don't blow-up my pictures.
Lucky thing is that my images look noisy only when they're "enlarged/cropped".
Usually I just post them in Facebook or here. sweat.gif

assuming u are buying a new 1785 which is 1900? get a 1740L instead...
28-135mm, IMHO it is too tight for APS-C. Assuming that you are using APS-C

Sorry but no offense bro. I wont say that it is too tight, the lens is depends on your need and usage, cant just say that wheter a lens is too tight or what.
Like for myself, most of the time i mount my tele lens on cause mostly i will be using 70mm or longer.
Anyway, no offense

no worries..that is why i said IMHO- It's my opinion smile.gif....
in the end it depends on what photos u shoot right? I believe a wider lens will be useful for most photogs. for instance, a UWA will be useless for a bird shooter.

it depends on what you need:)....

17-50 having a great f2.8 C/P value.
But on 17-85, u will get a fast focusing speed from the USM and also the useful IS when you dont have a tripod with u.
I will say 17-85 is a good travel lens for the longer focal length, USM and IS.

For online shopping, u may try Creative Photography

my exp on 1750 is pretty bad. It sffers from back focusing problem. I was told that this lens will tend to suffer from focusing problem after using it for some time...

so please try KAW KAW before getting a 1750:). Though i prefer the built of tammy, i might recommend sigma 1850 instead)

actually most of the lens can create bokeh as long as the DOF is shallow and the object are properly placed. However, diff lens produces diff bokeh, smile.gif....of course the expensive ones produces better bokeh la smile.gif

noob and normal bokeh:

Its possible with ur camera + kit lense.

Perhaps increase the contrast and saturation to +1?
Play with it urself, everyone prefer different combination.

To me, default setting of contrast and saturation is a bit on low side.
Just get your best setting, playing with it smile.gif
Its fun while learning in the process.
